I watched some of the game last night. MLB is testing different replay options in each game and last nights testing included unlimited challenges from each manager. Last night there were 7 challenges made, including 2 on one play.
I realize that replay's time has come for MLB, and I would rather see the correct umpire call made every time, but I don't want to see every close call at first base on a ground out challenged.
I think that the managers have to be limited, maybe 2 per 9 inn and 1 additional challenge in extra innings (HR challenges would count as 1 of their 2 available). There are wayyyyyyy too many 'bang-bang' plays in baseball to allow managers to challenge every one of them whenever they want.
